Just one day after a countywide burn ban was issued by Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom, the order has been rescinded. The rain that fell Wednesday along with a forecast for more precipitation spurred Newcom to make the decision.
"Even though the majority of the county has yet to reach anywhere near the 2-inch rainfall amount, most of the county has gotten some much needed rain over the past couple of days," Newcom said today in his order. "The forecast for the next several days indicates a greater possibility of rain chances and lower temperatures. I would still encourage all citizens to exercise caution with all planned outdoor burning activities."
The county will revert back to normal state burning laws.
